xvi, 200 pages ; 23 cm, Navy Commander Dave Muller's remarkable career in intelligence plunged him into most of the national security challenges of the past half-century, from the tactical level to the White House. In this unique memoir, Muller tells the details of his insider's experience of -- Building and running the U.S. Navy's worldwide human-source intelligence collection network; Tracking Soviet submarines, warships, and arms carriers in the Mediterranean; Tracking the rapid expansion of China's naval operations in the Pacific; Giving the Pacific Fleet commander minute-by-minute intelligence during the evacuations of Saigon and Phnom Penh; Conducting under-cover naval intelligence operations in Central America; Recruiting a highly placed agent in Iran's naval headquarters; Dealing with convicted spy Jonathan Pollard, years before his arrest; Teaching advanced terrorism intelligence techniques to military, law enforcement, and intelligence officers; Producing the National Intelligence Estimate on the Y2K millennium bug; Giving daily intelligence briefings to the country's first Drug Czar; Giving close support to CIA director William Casey in his dealings with intelligence community leaders. Not only does Commander Muller share his intelligence \"sea stories,\" but he also gives astute insights into persistent intelligence community and naval intelligence issues; congressional interference in intelligence, both positive and negative; and how top-level intelligence policy gets communicated to intelligence practitioners. --Back cover, Introduction -- Preparation -- Early Navy Years -- Formative Years in the Pacific -- A Key Decision -- Early Washington Years -- Navy Spymaster -- Drugs in the White House -- Interlude -- Return to Intelligence -- Training Counterterrorists -- Restrospective --Acknowledgments --Index
